The trailer for "Cocaine Bear" looks as crazy as the title suggests.
The film, directed by Elizabeth Banks, is about a bear who… well.. ingests a crazy amount of cocaine and goes on a drug-induced rampage.
It happens when millions of dollars' worth of drugs are thrown from an airplane over Knoxville, Tennessee.
It leads to a mad dash of several people trying to recover the powder while also dodging the strung-out bear who's out for blood and more nose candy.
So far, the best line of the trailer is "The bear! "It f--kin' did cocaine. A bear did cocaine!"
The scary thing is… the events are "very loosely" based on a true story.
In 1985 a smuggler dropped roughly 88 pounds of cocaine from an airplane over Blue Ridge, GA.
Investigators later discovered the body of a large black bear near several torn-up packages of the drugs. It's believed he ingested several million dollars' worth and overdosed.
